Cadw's description
Location
Bridge over the River Soch, on the outskirts of Botwnnog village on the minor road leading W past Plas Coch.
History
Stone bridge probably dating from the mid-C19.
Exterior
Random rubble. Two segmental arches, with slightly recessed stone voussoirs spanning openings approximately 5.5m wide. Big pointed cutwaters on both up and downstream sides. Low parapet walls are coped with roughly squared stone blocks, and continue on S side in arc following bend in road. Small buttress on SW side of bridge.
Reason for designation
A fine C19 country bridge with particularly well-proportioned arches.
